Автор: George Barnett Johnston Название: Assembling the Architect: The History and Theory of Professional Practice ISBN: 1350126829 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350126824 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 79200.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Assembling the Architect explores the origins and history of architectural practice. It unravels the competing interests that historically have structured the field and cultivates a deeper understanding of the contemporary profession.Focusing on the period 1870 to 1920 when the foundations were being laid for the U.S. architectural profession that we recognize today, this study traces the formation and standardization of the fundamental relationships among architects, owners, and builders, as codified in the American Institute of Architects' very first Handbook of Architectural Practice . It reveals how these archetypal roles have always been fluid, each successfully redefining their own agency with respect to the others in the constantly-shifting political economy of building.Far from being a purely historical study, the book also sheds light on today's digitally-enabled profession. Contemporary architectural tools and disciplinary ideals continue to be shaped by the same fundamental tensions, and emergent modes of practice such as BIM (Building Information Modelling) and IPD (Integrated Project Delivery) represent the realization of programs and agendas that have been over a century in play.Essential reading for professional practice courses as a contextual and historical companion to the Handbook, Assembling the Architect provides a critical perspective of the profession that is fundamental to understanding current architectural practice.

Автор: Mitchell Rolls, Anna Johnston Название: Reading Robinson: Companion Essays to George Robinsons Friendly Mission ISBN: 1921867302 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781921867309 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 34310.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This reprint - originally published by Quintus Publishing - brings together essays by leading Australian and international historians in an analysis of the monumental Friendly Mission: The Tasmanian Journals and Papers of George Augustus Robinson 1829-1834, edited by N.J.B. Plomley and republished in 2008. Until this book, Friendly Mission has rarely been considered in a context beyond the immediacy of Van Diemen's Land (the original European name for Tasmania). Yet, George Augustus Robinson's diverse writings constitute a body of work that typically has one set of meanings for local readers, and another for those outside its sphere of production. Robinson's texts are exemplary of the ways in which colonial texts circulated around what Alan Lester, Professor of Historical Geography at the University of Sussex, has called 'imperial networks.' Reading Robinson, while remaining cognizant of local resonances, extends Friendly Mission from parochial particularity and situates it within international contexts, both in terms of contemporary accounts of colonial/settler contact, conflict with indigenes, and current scholarship analyzing this material.

Here are some of the comments received for the book: George, Mine arrived today It is marvelous, a wonderful work you can be proud of assembling and authoring. I'm very much looking to reading it from cover to cover.I intend to tell the Naval Historical Foundation about it, because it will add to their archives of USS JOHNSTON.Well done, shipmate.Mike McCaffree, Rear Admiral U.S.N. RetiredGeorge, I received the book yesterday - it's wonderful....thanks for all your hard work in putting it together Reading the book has brought back some great memories and I also am learning more about the ship's intriguing history.Take care, Al Myers Hello George, Received My copy and want to thank you for doing this job.Excellent ... I am recalling so many events. Sorry I did not respond to your call for "war stories from the USS Johnston."Perhaps if you ever do an update, I can add a couple of pages next time.Great luck with it.Bob O'Dell RM3, USS Johnston DD821, 1952-1955Hi George, Linda and I had an opportunity to peruse the book and it was obvious that you devoted many hours in development and publishing. We both enjoyed the content immensely and will spend many hours in reading the book. You did a terrific job; well done. Regards, Captain John MingoGeorge, Got the books yesterday and WHAT A BOOK Thank you so much for your hard work on the book. The people who did not respond to your request for stories are really going to be sorry they aren't in the book. I'm going to donate one copy to my local library so the public in the Macon area can read about the Johnston.Thanks again for the book, Johnny "Jonesy" JonesGeorge, Got my book last night. It's fabulous Thanks for all your work in putting this together Mike GrazianoGeorge, got the book. Have already read most of it. It is really a great history and background of events regarding the Johnston. The book mentions a "Johnston Association." How do I join?The book has triggered many memories of my time on the Johnston. After reading the stories in the book, especially those around the time period I was aboard, it seems my memories sometimes seem to be skewed one way or the other. I guess that happens as we grow older.In any case, it was great to read the stories. I did notice that there were few stories from the Snipes. I have some, so when I get the time, I'll write them down for you, hopefully for an updated version sometime down the road.Thanks again for all you did to put this book together. I know it must have been one hellov'a task, but, you did good.Paul JohnstonI received the book and am enjoying reading the various chapters some which awaken old and almost forgotten memories Good job you did putting it together.
